Intrigued...

As I was searching for "multicultural reading material" to incorporate into our curriculum, I came across the short story by Amy Tan entitled "Two Kinds"

I was intrigued by this story because of my recent obsession with chinese parenting. I had read a few other short stories by Amy Tan (fish eyes) and realized I had never read one of her most famous worksThe Joy Luck Club.I picked up a copy at Joseph Beth's in Cincinnati.

The book is broken up into different stories about four mothers and their four daughters woven around this Joy Luck club they have. My favorite story so far is one of the mother's tales "The Red Candle." It discusses the constraints of an arranged marriage.
